- As shown in
FIG. 1 toFIG. 3 , in an embodiment of the present application, a water-cooled fan is provided, including abody 1, afan unit 2, aninstallation slot 3, and awater supply unit 4. - There are an
air inlet 11 and anair outlet 12 on thebody 1. Thefan unit 2 is disposed between theair inlet 11 and theair outlet 12. Theinstallation slot 3 is formed between theair inlet 11 and theair outlet 12. Thewater supply unit 4 is disposed above theinstallation slot 3. - In an embodiment, a honeycomb (not shown) is detachably disposed in the
installation slot 3. - In this case, the honeycomb can be used together with a negative pressure fan. The honeycomb is disposed in the
installation slot 3 near theair inlet 11 side. The fan is installed at the other end near theair outlet 12. The fan is cooled to extract the indoor air and generate a negative pressure to force the outdoor air to flow through the surface of the honeycomb, humidifying the air, forcing the temperature of the air entering the room to decrease, and continuously introducing into the room for heatstroke prevention and cooling. - In this technical solution, the
water supply unit 4 is used to pass water, and water flows in from the top of the honeycomb and keeps the honeycomb wet. - In an embodiment, the honeycomb adopts a paper honeycomb structure material or other similar functioned material. When water flows in, a water film can be formed on the corrugated fiber surface of the honeycomb. When the fast flowing air passes through the honeycomb, the dry gas becomes wet. The temperature of the humid air which enters the indoor space under the action of the fan is lower than the temperature of the dry gas, so as to humidify and cool the air.
- In an embodiment, an
air filter unit 5 is detachably disposed in theinstallation slot 3. - The
air filter unit 5 is a device that collects dust and other allergenic substances from the gas-solid two-phase flow by the action of a porous filter material, and purifies the gas. It purifies the air with low dust content and sends it into the room to ensure the cleaning process requirements of the room and the cleanliness of general air-conditioned room. - The
air filter unit 5 can be set according to the requirements of different air purification levels, and a filter element thereof can be made of glass fiber filter paper, polyethylene foam, non-woven fabric, wire mesh, glass fiber, nylon mesh, and the like. - In this technical solution, the water source of the honeycomb is supplied through the
water supply unit 4 at a top end thereof, and the water supply of the honeycomb by thewater supply unit 4 is relatively easy to control. For example, when the honeycomb needs to be replaced, thewater supply unit 4 can stop the water supply to the honeycomb and the honeycomb can be removed at this time. - At the same time, this also makes it possible to install the
air filter unit 5, since air filtration does not require water for normal operation. In an embodiment, thewater supply unit 4 is stopped, theair filter unit 5 is installed in theinstallation slot 3, and thefan unit 2 is activated to allow external air to pass through theair filter unit 5 under air pressure to achieve air purification. - It can be seen that the device of the present invention can selectively use the honeycomb or the
air filter unit 5 to achieve the effect of water cooling or air purification as needed. One set with two uses, reducing the cost. - As shown in
FIG. 4 , theair filter unit 5 includes apurifying screen 51 and adiversion trench 52. Thediversion trench 52 is disposed at least on a top edge and a side edge of thepurifying screen 51, and thediversion trench 52 corresponds to awater outlet 44 of thewater supply unit 44. - In this technical solution, without diversion trench, the purifying screen is prone to wet and fail; therefore, a diversion trench is provided here, such that the water is drained through the diversion trench to a return water outlet at the bottom of the installation slot. In this way, the purifying screen of the device is protected.
- In an embodiment, the
water supply unit 4 is a water sink. A bottom end of the water sink connects to a top end of theinstallation slot 3. - Further, a
water tank 6 is further provided. Thewater tank 6 is disposed below theinstallation slot 3. Thewater tank 6 connects to the return water outlet of the bottom end of theinstallation slot 3. - As shown in
FIG. 5 , awater pump 7 is disposed between thewater tank 6 and the water sink. Thewater tank 6, thewater pump 7, the water sink, and theinstallation slot 3 are sequentially connected to constitute a circulating waterway. - In the technical scheme, the provision of the circulating waterway can save the use of water, and at the same time, the liquid level in the water sink can be controlled by the control of the water pump. In addition, when the honeycomb needs to be replaced with the
air filter unit 5, the water pump can stop working. After the water in the water tank is completely released, the honeycomb can be taken out. - It should be noted that in the air purification work process, it is necessary to keep the water pump stopped at all times, and prevent the water from entering the
installation slot 3 to wet theair filter unit 5, thereby affecting the air purification effect. - In this embodiment, the control of the water pump can provide possibilities for intelligent control.
- In order to control the risk of water entering the
air filter unit 5 and to achieve intelligent control, an identification device may also be provided for determining whether theair filter unit 5 or the honeycomb is located inside theinstallation slot 3. When theair filter unit 5 is present, a safety device is started to avoid water accidentally starting. - In an embodiment, the identification device may include a
chip 81 and achip sensor 82. Thechip 81 may be installed on theair filter unit 5 or the honeycomb. Thechip sensor 82 may be correspondingly installed in theinstallation slot 3 or on thebody 1. - Since the chip has the uniqueness of recognition, when the
air filter unit 5 or the honeycomb is disposed in theinstallation slot 3, it can be determined whether theair filter unit 5 or the honeycomb is located inside theinstallation slot 3 by the reading of the chip sensor. - In other embodiments, the identification device may also be a graphic code and a graphic code reading device. For example, the graphic code is a barcode, a two-dimensional code or other pattern disposed on the
air filter unit 5 or the honeycomb. The graphic code reading device determines whether theair filter unit 5 or the honeycomb is located inside theinstallation slot 3 by the reading of different patterns. - In order to control the opening and closing of the water supply of the water sink to the
installation slot 3, in other embodiments, a water drop hole is formed between the water sink and theinstallation slot 3. An electric drive valve, such as a solenoid valve, is provided at the position of the water drop hole. The control of the valve can achieve the hole and closing between the water sink and theinstallation slot 3. - In this embodiment, a certain amount of water can be pre-stored in the water sink. When the honeycomb needs to be wetted, the valve can be opened. The valve can be closed when the work is stopped or the
air filter unit 5 needs to be replaced. - Thanks to the electric drive valve, it can facilitate intelligent control.
- In an embodiment, the water source in the water sink may also be provided externally, in which case the water in the
water tank 6 needs to be periodically discharged. - In an embodiment, the
water supply unit 4 may also be a direct shower head, and water is sprayed directly from the outside onto the honeycomb. - As shown in
FIG. 6 , abreakwater cap 41 is disposed in the water sink. A water retaining surface of thebreakwater cap 41 is opposite to awater pumping port 42 of the water tank. - The water flow is pumped from the
water tank 6 into the water sink through the water pump. In order to reduce the length of the pipeline and make thebody 1 as compact as possible, thewater pumping port 42 of the water sink is formed at the bottom of the water sink. If the breakwater cap is not provided, the water entering the water sink is easily splashed upward. If the top of the water sink is not well sealed, water will seep from the top of thebody 1. - In addition, when the water flows into the water sink, the water flow is too large, which is likely to cause disturbance and affect stability. In the technical solution, by directly providing a breakwater cap, direct upward impact of the water flow can be avoided. The breakwater cap can laterally disperse the water flow through the blocking surface at the bottom end.
- In an embodiment, as shown in
FIG. 7 , astep portion 43 is formed in the water sink. Thewater pumping port 42 is formed above thestep portion 43. When the water flows into the water sink, the water can flow along the slope of the step portion to reach thewater outlet 44. - Further, a hole is formed at the top of the water sink. This hole is covered by an
openable cover 8. - In the technical solution, by opening the
cover 8, it is convenient to place ice cubes in the water sink, and at the same time, it is convenient to clean the inside of the water sink and install and repair the components in the water sink. - In a preferred embodiment, the cover is attached to the
body 1 in a flipped manner. - In an embodiment, a water level sensor is disposed within the water sink.
- In the technical solution, the water level sensor is mainly used to limit the minimum water level in the water tank, to avoid dry burning of the water pump when the water level in the water tank is low or there is no water.
- The maximum water level in the water tank can be observed by the naked eye by providing a scale. In this technical solution, the housing of the water tank is required a certain transparency or at least a transparent window.
- The maximum water level in the water tank can also be limited by the water level sensor. The maximum water level can be used to avoid overflow of water. During operation, the water level sensor connects to a control device. When the maximum set water level is reached, the control device automatically controls the water pump to stop working or reduce the water supply.

air inlet 11 and theinstallation slot 3. The airflow is directly applied to theinstallation slot 3 for humidification or purification by means of a positive pressure. - In an embodiment, the bottom end of the
body 1 is provided with the cast dish 9. - In the technical solution, the overall movement of the
body 1 can be facilitated by the cast dish, and is particularly suitable for use in places such as homes and offices. - In an embodiment, the
air outlet 12 is provided with a winddirection adjustment louver 13. - Further, a
